Week 2 Eastern Orthodox Religious Tradition Discussion

Week 2 Eastern Orthodox Religious Tradition Discussion

Visit a worship service of a religious group with which you are unacquainted. Describe the religious group, the worship experience, the leaders, general impressions and what you’ve learned about the group. Share which religious tradition you will be visiting in the week 2 module.

If you are very unfamiliar with the tradition, make sure you contact the group to ask permission for attending the service. Also, while I encourage you to document your visit with pictures, please DO NOT take pictures or film any service while it is in progress. This is considered offensive to most religions. DO ask permission to take a picture of the outside of the structure or the inside of the structure while service is not in session. DO ask permission to take pictures of the religious leaders or members if pertinent to your paper.

Also attempt to do a little outside research about the group either prior to or following the service you attend. This research can be done online, and you should seek out “official” sources for that religion. How did the worship service correspond to what you read about the group?

This paper should be 3-4 pages, double-spaced, in Times New Roman 12 pt. font, 1 inch margins. If you use and quote or paraphrase outside sources they should be cited.
